rethinking my cycling FAK

[admin]

I’ve had my share of road-rash and i would say that throwing in some kind of towel for sure, to help wipe off the sweat, etc. Personally i prefer a clean bandana, because it’s reusable and can be used for a ton of things, ie sling, tie it above/over bandaged area to keep clean/keep dry. I also keep PLENTY of waterproof medical tape / a small roll of duct-tape in my FAK’s because you can use it to wrap around the limb where you have road rash, etc. I also have plenty of 3×3 or 4×4’s with me. I use the neosporin on my bandages because it helps prevent them from sticking to the wound / having the scab form in the gauze. Butterfly strips are also a good thing to throw in there, along with ibuprofen or tylenol, and maybe benadryll (for those days you get bad allergies). Maybe also a spare 6×6 or so just for those really bad road burns.
